PCB Assembly FAQ

We firstly check your bill of material (BOM) and sent to you the list what we already have in our inventory. They are mostly low price or free parts. We will give you advice how to reduce the BOM costs by parts crossing, but after all, it depends on your own final decision.

How do you order components for the orders?

We order volume quantities if the parts in your bill of material (BOM) are regular in case of no remains in our inventory. You will pay less or free by doing this way. For uncommon used parts in your BOM, we usually order 5% or 5 spare parts to assure to accomplish your order without parts shortage or missing. If we encounter some minimum order, we will communicate with you to find the best solution.

What is the lead time on an order?

The final lead time is procurement lead time plus assembly lead times. However, we try to shorten the time stream line by leveling resources. For instance, once we receive your Gerber file for PCB fabrication and BOM for assembly, we will start to prepare stencil and procurement of your outsourcing parts.

Is there a minimum order size for orders?

No. We have no restrictions on your order size. However, we would like to have your target price to help us find a good solution for your specific needs in cost reduction.

What happens to the leftover components?

We can keep your leftover parts in our inventory for your next order if you think the parts will be repeated used. For your testing and evaluation purposes in your lab, you can also order the regular parts from us for free. Please don't forget to check with us when your PCBs are going to be shipped to you.
